Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2007, 2008
In 2008, Suzuki manufactured the Boulevard M50, a V-Twin engine cruiser motorcycle best suited for novice riders who didn't build up enough confidence to get on a larger M machine.
The bike featured a moderate displacement and the looks of its bigger siblings, but its smaller engine was more manageable than the big-bore Boulevard models.
It featured unrivaled muscle cruiser styling along with a shot of Suzuki's fuel injection technology and a hardtail design that provided a smooth ride and agile handling thanks to its advanced suspension system.
The wide pulled-back handlebar with the wide seat that offered a low seating position and the forward-mounted foot controls provided comfortable riding.
On the front end, the bike featured a powerful multi-reflector headlight switched off during start-up for a reduced load on the battery, while the rear featured a LED taillight with a clear lens for a modern custom look and bright bullet-shaped turn signals that offered high visibility and an attractive appearance.
In the power department, the 2008 Suzuki Boulevard M50 had its heartbeat set by an 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine fitted with a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that offered smooth throttle response and high torque output.
As for the power figures, the bike delivered an output power of 50 hp with a peak at 6,500 rpm and 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
Also, the bike was available with optional features such as a windshield, light bar, saddlebags, engine guards, billet aluminum elements, and custom seats.
